Jonathan Petrie of London\u2019s Daily Telegraph<\/em> explains what\u2019s going on <\/a>as the world\u2019s Anglican primates meet in Tanzania. Basically, the bishops of the developing world are still hoping mad over the ordination of Vicki Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire, and the Episcopal Church\u2019s refusal to stop ordaining homosexuals. The don\u2019t much like presiding \u2018bishop\u2019 Kate Schori, and have set up an alternative conference in a neighboring hotel.<\/p>\n

These are people with a different worldview and a different voltage running through their circuits. They do all sorts of \u2018distasteful\u2019 things like healings, exorcisms, growing big churches and believing the Christian gospel. No wonder Kate Schori and the other mainstream liberal Anglican bishops are having conniptions.<\/p>\n
